Teaching practice orientation for students

As a prerequisite for the teaching practice programme for all prospective student-teachers, 200-Level students of the Faculty of Education, University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), have participated in a one-week orientation.

The orientation was held at the Education Lecture Theatre of the university.

Speaking during the programme, the guest speaker, Dr A.T. Alabi said: “Teaching provides an individual the opportunity to observe oneself. It goes beyond standing in front of a class with a chalk or a marker in your hand and talking to the students. Teaching requires a whole lot of technicalities and adequate experience.”

She enjoined the students to be dutiful during the exercise, stating that teaching was a very rewarding and fulfilling profession.

The Sub-Dean of Students Affairs Unit of the university, Dr Abdulraheem Yusuf, encouraged the students to comport themselves responsibly.
